It seems pretty optional in the US at least. My phone has been broken for extended periods of time before. But different story trying to use budget European airlines like Wizz that require an app to get a boarding pass.
- grishka 7mo agoIt's also very much optional in Russia as well. Everywhere still takes cash, everything can be done on paper. And speaking of air travel, most airports actually require a printed boarding pass. IIRC you can use an electronic boarding pass in SVO since relatively recently, but I've never done that myself.

- zadikian 7mo agoRyanair FAQ may be out of date then. I have a Ryanair flight booked. In the portal, it says "You must download the Ryanair App. This is the only way to access your digital boarding pass, paper boarding passes are no longer issued or accepted." Will see about Wizz, maybe it was only Ryanair.
- medvidek 7mo agoI flew with RyanAir once after the rules changed, did online check-in on a computer, at the check-in desk at the airport got a paper boarding pass for free, just had to pretend that my phone died and that I have no charger with me.
- zadikian 7mo agoAh nice, so they're bluffing. I figured maybe, but also didn't want to risk it.
